It’s that time of year again….Opening Day for Atlanta Braves baseball….. and my husband and two of the kids were at the game (April 5) …. Atlanta Braves vs Chicago Cubs….sitting out in right field at Turner Field…..

They saw an impressive opening ceremony…..

Travis Tritt sang National Anthem…..

Hank Aaron threw out the first pitch…..

He’s looking pretty good for 76 years old…..

and Bobby Cox had his last opening day as Atlanta Braves manager (sad) …… we will miss him…..

a view of the field…..

Eddie Perez (bullpen coach) and Roger McDowell (pitching coach)……

Brian McCann (catcher)….

The Braves won 16-5 and everyone got a good look at Jason Heyward who hit a 3 run homerun his first major league at bat. Yes, my family was among the crowd chanting “Let’s go Hey-ward” before he even got up to the plate to bat

Hi Susan,I love baseball, and what a great day at the ballpark. Fun to see Hank Aaron and nice that they won. You are right, he looks fantastic. I can almost smell the grass from here. There's nothing like the smell of grass on the baseball field.Happy Outdoor Wednesday and thanks for hosting.Maryrose

How exciting for your family! I just love going to baseball games and sitting in the stands. Don't hotdogs taste better at the game than at home? We lost our local team, The Surf, as they were losing money and the owners gave up the franchise. Boo! :(

That is so awesome that Hank Aaron threw the opening pitch! I like baseball but have not been to any games in a couple of years. What a fabulous series of photos. How exciting for your husband and two of your kids to see such an exciting game.

Thank you for stopping by my blog and taking the time to comment! I enjoy reading all your thoughts and will try to answer any questions you might have for me. Have a wonderful day....hope to "see"you again soon!
